"Maya, get to the dining table for dinner," I heard my mother shout from the kitchen, and nodded before I could stop myself.
I should be talking, since mom couldn’t see . I think to myself, my eyes unable to leave the outfit that Naomi had finally settled on, the outfit I will be wearing for tomorrow’s classes.
I still find it..I don’t know, a bit overwhelming.
The outfit consists of a crop top, an oversize blue jean jacket and baggy striped denim jeans.
Weirder, I’m rocking it all off with Noami’s chunky boots. And this was because I had refused to wear anything tight like the short skirt she had brought out or the tiny pants that hugged every curve that I owned.
I didn’t want Adam thinking that I was dressing up because of him. But he will still think so tomorrow though.
That is because the dressing was still unlike even though it was covering the whole curves, sothing that Naomi didn’t really like but had to agree with because it still looked chic.
The others will think so too. The others including Claire. I wondered what she had in stock for tomorrow.
I won’t lie. The thought was amongst the things making nervous about going to school tomorrow. What specie of bullying will color my day tomorrow? I thought, instantly jerking out of my bed when I heard my mother’s voice for the second ti.
It was best to leave now before her mate begins to holler at . Although, surprisingly, he hadn’t said anything since he had co back with my mother from the eting. The sa with my siblings, Lilian and Lent.
I could bet my ass that Claire must have told Lilian even though they weren’t best of friends, but they were allies in hating . They knew that of themselves well and was what they had in common.
And if Claire had told Lilian, then that Lilian must have told Lent. Or was this all in my mind? Did Claire keep this big news to herself to avoid more embarrassnt knowing that Adam would never keep of course? I don’t know, but I am not waiting around to find out.
I had promised Naomi that I would follow her advice. It was making as nervous as hell, but it was worth giving it a shot.
I was tired of being bullied, and I don’t consider it wrong using Adam as a shield. I actually take it as a form of repaynt on his side, just that he wouldn’t know.
He might beco much more than a bully if he ever finds out that I am using him. He would be a beast. So, it is best that this plan remains between and Naomi.
Donning a sweater over my ash sports bra, I walked out of my room, trudging toward the dining room, as my stomach grumbled in hunger.
After the incident with Adam in the kitchen, I never left Naomi’s room till it was ti to go ho. And when we had co down, Naomi snickering at intervals, we had t the whole squad in the kitchen, munching on the leftover cookies and talking about football, and Claire was just right between Adam’s laps like she hadn’t seen him cheating.
When she saw , she turned her face around and kissed Adam full on the lips, causing whistles to erupt in the kitchen, and then she had turned around again and faced , a sly smirk on her lips .
I had heard Naomi mutter bitch, and I saw Adam shrug his shoulders at with a smile on his lips. He wasn’t bothered by it or by the fact that I could be hurt. So, I shrugged too, turning up my lips in disgust. It wasn’t painful, neither did it hurt .
Yes, Adam was hot, but I would never set myself up for heartbreak by falling in love with him.
First reason; he is high up on the ladder in everything, and , I am like the clown and poor dumb girl of the society. We would never click unless in fairytale stories like cinderella.
Secondly; this is a werewolf community, so the issue of mates was taken very much in high regard. He was a lycan, and even though their mates co once in a blue moon, they could get a chosen mate, but she must be of high caliber.
I cannot be his fated mate because I think I am not much in luck with the goddess and I cannot be his chosen mate either because as I had ntioned earlier, I was so down the social ladder.
Then lastly, I was wolfless.
So, you see why it would never work?
Good. I can see it. We can see it. Everybody can see it. So, the only thing that can keep Adam fawning over was my looks, and Naomi was hell bent on utilizing that feature for my good. She is the bestest friend ever.
Adam had been surprised by the nonchalant look on my face then. I had seen the surprise flash right across his face before he turned away to say sothing to his brother, Daniel. Claire had flipped over, and holding the reins to flip her too, I turned around with Naomi and left the house. We t her parents right at the doorway.
Her mother, Rebeka, had tried to convince to stay over for dinner, but I had refused citing a nonexistent assignnt I had to go over and submit the next day, afterwards cracking a light joke that she might have a fullhouse to feed since her son brought the whole squad.
Her husband had laughed then, just right before placing his hand on my shoulder and wishing a goodnight.
Rebeka did the sa, but she went further to drop a kiss on my cheek. It was a small gesture but it made feel loved.
I thanked the goddess again for Naomi. Because of her, I had three more people that didn’t balk or feel like they have to antagonize whenever they see . I couldn’t wait to see her tomorrow. She was going to pick up from the house for school.
